A.
The purpose of this district is to provide areas in
the Town for large-scale retail sales and business enterprises, on
highways designed to handle large volumes of traffic, for well-planned
and well-designed commercial uses and parking areas which primarily
serve the motoring public and which are generally compatible with
each other and which are not detrimental to adjoining uses, community
aesthetics, aquifer protection or the orderly flow of on-site and
off-site pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

authorizing issuance of the conditional permit, the Planning Board
may require the correction of any and all phases of the operation
which may become or have become detrimental to the neighborhood.

modify hours of operation with the granting of a conditional use permit
based upon the intensity of the use and potential impact on neighboring
areas.
